What type of plants if any can grow under maple trees? Everything I planted under the tree either has stunted growth or just kind of dies off.
If you use our Plantfinder feature in the garden Shed you can search on that criteria alone e.g. 'Position' > 'Under Trees". Then just browse through to see what appeals and/or grows in your climate zone.

However I can suggest that Hemerocallis spp. (Day Lily), Azalea and Liriope should all do well, they will also provide evergreen leaves with seasonal flowers.
Mixing Liriope and Hemerocallis is a great look.
